The reported conclusion of the President
had been the subject of much discussion up to
Thursday. when Senator Vest, of Missouri, to

his intentions denied the whole report Il

was calling upon President Cleveland not
a long ago. and in the course of conversation
about the state of the Democratic party he
declared emphatically that the only ambition
he had was so honestly and faithfully to ad-
minister the affairs of the government that
the people would elect any Democrat who
might be nominated in 1888. He knew that
he had been accused of selfish motives, but
he added IF l could consult only my own

That was all he said He did not intimate
that he would refuse to be candidate again

The Senator says he afterwards happened to
repeat to some acquaintance what the Presi-

A Little Assessment Item.

Mr.. H. A. Unruh returned from
San Francisco yesterday whittier he
went to pay the taxes of Mr.. Baldwin
in that county. He says that there
has been no increase whatever in the
valuation Of real property in San Fran
cisco. Lots that were sold for 5000
last year and have sold for $500 since
are assessed at the old time valuation
of $50 each. The only increase in
San Francisco has been on personal
property and improvements and not
on real estate. He says that the peo-
pie up there are laughing in their
sleeves and congratulating themselves
that Los Angeles will have to bear the
greatest burden of state taxes this
year. Give Assessor Mason one more
show and Los Angeles county will pay
in taxes every cent needed to run the
State government and the rest of the
counties can go scot free.

SHAKING HANDS.

Who doesn't enjoy good hearty hand-shake?
Did you ever think of the different modes of
doing it? First, there is the very genteel way,
in fact so very proper and polite that one can
scarcely realize it at ALL and it loses its identity.
Next is the firm grasp, denoting strong, friendly
and sympathetic feeling. but without any shak-
ing motion of the hand.
There are people who do not seem to have
strength enough to shake hands-I do not mean
invalids-they simply touch your hand for mere
ceremony. This sort of shake makes one feel
depressed at once.
The hearty, sincere hand-shake seems to me
to be of nature to cheer and enliven the
owners of the hands. Sometimes person is so
enthusiastic, not to say harsh, that it seems as
if the hand was in wise, and it almost amounts
to actual pain during this tremendous process.
1 have often heard it said that the way peo-
pie were in the habit of shaking hands was the
way they were in the habit of feeling, varying
of course with the different people one might
meet" 1 do not think this is a general rule,
for many people have particular and precise
way of shaking hands from which they never
depart OF course relatives and close friends
are entitled to q warmer shake than the ac-
quaintance, but in any case let it alacays be cor
dial.
